Might take some time to work my way across all of these ...

I'm sure you made plenty of use of those trash cans :)

Mr Tak is responding to a 2 year old thread btw.

It's ironic how items made in one country, like British steel; film etc are all...

I'm really liking the Hathway mandolins, which surprised me because they are very unadorned, with no bells and whistles for decorative sales pitch - just beautifully individually handcrafted...

"Management continually suppressed my talents" said Farrell (aged 97yrs).

It works out well and he's rehoused.

Maybe all the retired banjo players at the home made him do it.

Lovely!

Wht a sprightly rhythm and tone! Your left hand moves so smoothly through the piece.

Got to adore these little A mandolins - I love the rubbed wax natural finish rather than the...

Beautiful and elegant solution to the A vs F campz!

Hmm...from the Weber Gallatin A vs F, I'm not hearing a 20% improvement of the F over the A, for a cost of around 80% F > A.

More like + 2-5% F bark over the A, an then - 2-5% A sustain > F...

Oh no no noooo!

He doesn't buy a new mandolin for $240...that's not the way it works.

You give him yours, as a father-son bonding thing as a present because he loves it so much. Then he...

Hey Pete - sorry you had a bad experience there too. You'd think that London shop retailers could have a bit more courtesy for visiting tourists but alas, I think we rate as badly as Parisians...

Hi Lorraine,

I guess you have very high standards of yourself. In London we are lucky to have a whole concert series dedicated to anxiety:

I don't know about recommendations - I've had some work done for fretted and stringed instruments in London - some are better than others.

No one here enjoys the Wegen Bluegrass pick for accuracy?

I love the hold and its great general use although I don't even play or listen to bluegrass music (I mean...how on earth can the grass be...

Just in case, you should probably avoid the Ashbury OMs if you like the Hathaway. The Ashburys aren't anywhere as stunning.

I love the Hathaway large bodied mandolin (GDAE). It has an incredibly...

I feel more comfortable on 1 3/16 than a 1/8 or smaller.

I noticed that I play both as badly as one another, so it probably makes no difference :)

Don't know about old, but the modern Eastwood Ellis tenor guitar makes a superb tone!

I loved the tone ...hated the mega long fret board (sorry - just don't like anything longer than a...

Hi,

Any one find it difficult to go back to acoustic mandolin after going electric?

I guess depends on music taste to some extent. Just wonder if others have similar acoustic vs electric...

Sorry about the bad experience. My cheap mandolin I bought from a store local to me. Ive seen it sold for 20% more on the internet without a free gig bag imported from Asia to the UK.

Hi Nick,

you're welcome! Marvellous to hear of your serendipitious experience at work. The only instrument my colleagues play music with is a hi-fi. There was one guy who played the banjo, but...

Great to hear of your cultural fusion music experience Nick :)

I spent a year working in China where I took up a few lute lessons in Mandarin, so I learnt imperfectly.

The music you have...
